曼聯主帥穆里尼奧證實，紅魔正在和伊布有關下半賽季回歸球隊展開磋商。
這名瑞典前鋒上賽季加盟球隊後作出了巨大貢獻，出場46次打入28球成為球隊頭號射手，4月對陣安德萊赫特時遭遇膝蓋重傷，提前結束了賽季。
他的合同在夏天結束，35歲的他最近幾周正在進行康復訓練並逐步恢復，但是他並不急於復出。
在周日對陣西漢姆的英超揭幕戰賽前新聞發布會上，穆里尼奧表示，他覺得伊布在老特拉福德的目標還沒達成，球隊的大門為他敞開，隨時歡迎他回來。「他的傷病需要時間去恢復，」穆里尼奧說。「他還沒做好準備上場，這不是很緊急的事情，沒有什麼需要他馬上就去完成的任務。」
「我想他很清楚，他在上個賽季還沒表現出百分百的實力。他希望做得更多，他希望能夠站在足球運動的巔峰，所以我們會一起討論他下半賽季重回球隊的可能性，」
今年10月即將年滿36歲的伊布加盟球隊後不久就征服了曼聯球迷，他在英超賽場上打進了17個進球，並且在溫布利打進兩球，幫助紅魔分別獲得了社區盾杯和聯賽杯的冠軍。
Jose Mourinho has confirmed Manchester United are holding discussions with Zlatan Ibrahimovic over a possible return to the club in the second half of the 2017/18 season.
The Swedish striker made a huge impact last term, finishing as the Reds』 top scorer with 28 goals in 46 appearances, before suffering a serious knee injury against Anderlecht in April which ended his season prematurely.
Since his contract expired in the summer, the 35-year-old has stepped up his rehabilitation in recent weeks and is battling back to fitness at the Aon Training Complex, although there is no rush on his comeback.
Speaking in his press conference ahead of Sunday’s Premier League game against West Ham, Mourinho stated that Ibrahimovic feels he has unfinished business at Old Trafford and the door remains open for the striker to possibly return during the season.
"He’s injured and he needs time to recover," said Mourinho. "He's not ready to play tomorrow, he’s not something urgent, he's not something you are desperate to have it done, or not done.
"I just think he was very clear by showing what he did last year was not enough for him. He thinks he can do more, he wants more at football’s highest level, so we are having conversations and we are discussing the possibility of him staying with us for the second part of the season."
Ibrahimovic, who turns 36 in October, quickly became a fans』 favourite among the Reds faithful last term, hitting 17 goals in the Premier League alone and scoring two winning goals at Wembley to clinch the Community Shield and EFL Cup respectively.
